Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!


I'm so excited! I've got several nephews who have gotten into scape these last couple of years and have had difficulty finding ClassicScape they can afford.

I for one am hoping that there will be reprints (or new figures for classic cards) sometime in the future, in addition to NewScape.

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

It's been a LONG time since I've logged in (though I've been lurking anonymously). Today's announcement is shocking and excellent, and a great reason for me to dust off the ol' profile. Seeing the list of individuals who have been working on this revival, I have absolutely no doubt about the quality we'll receive when the time comes.

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

A much younger me would've died at unpainted minis but I have since taking up miniature painting so it would be okay. Painting is relaxing and great "podcast" work. A much younger me also had a lot less spending money so I'll be okay if this new Heroscape comes at a higher cost to account for plastic prices or prepainted minis or what have you.

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

I wonder how cognizant the designers were of the customs when designing new units as to not unintentionally create some devastating combos or step on anyones toes in the CV3/SoV. Backwards compatibility is something that appears to be emphasized and the potential to see some C/D listers get their moment in the sun with new synergies is an exciting prospect to be sure. But I wonder if this might come at the expense of units that are in essence "this thing that already exists but 'official'." Im not holding out hope for pre-painted models even if the gencon photo says otherwise. Anything to keep the price down is a win for me. These are truly exciting times.

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

Beyond thrilled of course that Heroscape is finally back! It's so nostalgic to scroll through and see a bunch of familiar names.

I've noticed a few people mentioning "VC". What does that stand for?

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

10 figures in Marvel, 10 figures in BftU, 10 figures here--all unique heroes? If it's red/black OMs this time, that will complete the colors of the five original generals. Those base bevels aren't the same, either--placeholders? What if the minis are packaged separate from the terrain box this time? 24 water tiles? Four 24-hexes in this set, three grass, one rock?

Re: miniatures. Heroquest came unpainted, then and now. And while I'm sure all the back HeroScape catalog will be reprinted, perhaps alternating a new with an old wave--to not reissue the old stuff would NOT be "all in"--maybe the minis are unpainted this time around, a cost savings to be sure, and people have the cards themselves as a color guide. As the Bard so rightfully said:
"...Many a young lad got their start in miniature painting, taking their first delicate steps, with these fine figures."

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

Can’t tell you all how happy I am to be back. I am honored to be working with some of these amazing folks from the community and absolutely honored that Craig brought me back on board. What an amazing opportunity and I hope, but also know, we will do right by you all.

It’s good to see y’all again my friends. I do wish Rev and Jim were here with us to celebrate, but I know they would approve.

Y'all put their names on two minis, and we'll remember them every time we open the box, Sky. They deserve it.

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

Existing generals remain.
Hinted at new factions. (I assume there are definitely new generals/factions)
Craig is a permanent part of the team.
"Look to see how [Hasbro] interacts with the HeroQuest community to see how they might interact with C3V/SoV."
Figures will be unpainted because "deco" costs would put the starter set at $400+ Deco alone is more expensive than the figures.
First set will most likely be all unique figures.
First set will include an unspecified quantity of Heroscape terrain (same molds as the original sets).
TBD on reprinting any old days

Source: I am at GenCon and talked to Chris Nadeau (I swear his badge said "Hopkins" or "Hodgkins" the first time I looked)

Edit: also, he emphasized that they are prioritizing accessibility, they want people to be able to get into the game

Edit2: he also would not say when we should expect to be able to give them money for these products; not even a "closer to 3 months or closer to 18 months" type of answer

Edit3: He also said "the story has progressed and the world has changed." Make of that what you will. It was in reference to generals/factions.
